Beside the [[ATB]] (read that page for information about the ATB) you can drive now. To drive forward first be sure the train is in PZ throttle ([[MG2]],[[SG2]] and [[RSG2]]) or in Rij throttle ([[RSG3]] and [[SG3]]). You can chance that with the {{Key|Q}}, and {{Key|W}}, keys. Then you can press the {{Key|>}}, for more traction or the {{Key|<}}, for the brakes. You can see your speed and the maximum speed in your front. For braking is a maximum of 4.00 for the [[MG2]],[[SG2]] and [[RSG2]] and a maximum of 0.75 for the [[RSG3]] and [[SG3]] comfortable for the passengers. For throttle there is no maximum.
